Another new manager for Lionel Messi as Jorge Sampaoli leaves Argentina job

Argentina confirmed on Sunday that they have parted company with manager Jorge Sampaoli after a chaotic World Cup campaign.

La Albiceleste found it tough going in Russia and only secured qualification to the knockout phase with a victory over Nigeria in their final match.

They went on to face eventual winners France in the last 16, where they were knocked out after losing an exciting game 4-3.

It now turns out that the match was Sampaoli’s last in charge of the national team.

The hunt will now begin for a new manager to take over Argentina.
